Jewish Groups Call Guiliani an Anti-Semite After he Claims He's 'More of a Jew' Than George Soros
Several United States-based Jewish groups blasted President Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani as an outright "anti-Semite" after he repeatedly claimed he's "more of a Jew" than Holocaust survivor and philanthropist George Soros.
A wide swath of mainly progressive Jewish-American organizations and activist leaders ridiculed the Republican former New York City mayor, who was raised Catholic by Italian-American parents, for denigrating the left-wing financier Soros as less Jewish than himself. During an interview with New York Magazine last week, Giuliani said his support for the state of Israel makes him "more of a Jew" than Soros, who managed to escape Holocaust death camps by posing as a Christian in Nazi-occupied Hungary during World War II.
Progressive Jewish groups began sharing the "Rudy is an anti-Semite" hashtag on Twitter in solidarity with Soros and other ethnic Jews.
"#RudyIsAnAntisemite pass it on," remarked the American-Jewish progressive activist group IfNotNow on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.

"Don't take it from George Soros, who survived the Holocaust; take it from Rudy Giuliani, who not only wasn't in the Holocaust but isn't even Jewish," replied political pundit Brian Tyler Cohen.
